I'd imagine in Kin Kin... ;)
 
And where would I find one of these nylon olives?

Also Argon, where is the best place to get those silicone o rings (Besides craftbrewer, I cant justify going out there to get 6 washers).
Bunnings or plumbing supply shop. Easy peasy.
 
I'll see what I have in the arsenal for tomorrow Dan. Can't promise anything, but might have something to help!

They're just your bog standard white olive from any hardware store.

-EDIT- helps if I finish my sentences... ;)
 
Love it , not sure I could go further than an extension lead though. I could always strap a solar panel to my head and go out in the midday sun.

They're 12v nev, you seen how long a 12v battery drill last for these days. You might wanna have a spare battery with you though.
 
Didn't get around to brewing but did get to do a quick put together for tommorows brew. It may not be pretty but it will work. Once I am happy with the way my system looks I have a relo that works in stainless fab and likes my beer ;) . The best thing about the mash lid is that I can recirc the HLT water then change lids and recirc the mash then it sits on the side of the kettle for mash and sparge transfer. Obviously not a permenent set of but it allows me make adjustments and still brew 3 cube batches. I will post pics tmorrow when I have set the rig up properly.

Cheers

Looks the goods. Dual use is prefect, now to use the coil to chill as well.

I love the idea of using it for chill too. I have a plate chiller which I love, but having the coil which I can swap from kettle to bucket of ice water sounds fkn awesome...

Me and my co conspirator/designer were working (over beers) on it today, it needs to be setup the in the same hermit-HX heat exchange but in reverse to its intended use.
It can use the original Hermit- HX housing design with a couple of in and out connectors (cross flow) and should be efficient for water used. Dual purpose in one unit !
We havent trialed it yet but should do the job. Any ideas/ trial info welcomed.
HERM-IT TRANS V1 here we come. :icon_cheers:

I have a 10L stock pot I was thinking simply pulling the coil out and dumping it in that. That will be harder though with your HERMIT design.

I call foul play. Talk to BBB...no doubt he has something to do with it. Only Hermit in Gero and all... ;)

I know of others in town with shiny new brew bling as well. I can not sledge poor Triple B as he supplied me with some bits and pieces for my own build, even thoe I want to sledge him.

So how good are these things, 63 of the total post count of 178 (35%) from WA. To be expected I guess, but 42 of these (66%) posts are from Gryphon Brewing.

Anyone using one care to comment on the performance.

Screwy, I will be able to let you know how it goes after tommorrows brew. I have replaced my dodgy copper coil with this one.

Cheers
